Volettas only child was Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls.
The preschool teacher gave birth to the rapper in 1972.

Wallace, Biggies son with R&B singer Evans, was among the first family members to arrive.

She was an incredible woman.
Wearing a Voletta T-shirt, he says he admired how Voletta ensured that Biggies legacy was not forgotten.
Thats the OGs mother.
She had a big heart.
